<p>Peterson’s reports the average GPA for schools that provide it. Unfortunately, a lot of schools do not, eg, 15 of the USNWR Top 20 national universities and 15 of the USNWR Top 20 LACs don’t. One group of colleges, however, mostly does report its average GPA-the State Us. </p>
<p>I looked at all of the 33 State Us ranked in the USNWR Top 75. Twenty-six of those thirty-three public colleges provided an average GPA. </p>
<p>Below are the numbers for the public universities ranked in the USNWR Top 75 (clearly a few schools reported weighted GPAs). </p>
